Chapter 32: Midsummer

"Sister Yunni, it's time to drink the medicine!"

Xinghua carried a coarse porcelain bowl with half a bowl of brown medicinal juice in it, and came to the window, "Sister Yunni, drink the medicine quickly, go to the kang to rest, the heat is heavy on this ground, don't sit for a long time, it's not good for your health." ”

Yunni pulled back her gaze from the peach that began to turn red outside the window, the sun was in full bloom outside, and the peach tree seemed to be still, and there was only the sound of knowing between heaven and earth, which continued.

Yunni took the medicine bowl from Xinghua's hand, and said with a slight smile: "Trouble Sister Xinghua, you have to boil medicine and deliver medicine for me every day." As he spoke, he didn't blink his eyes, and raised his head to drink the bitter medicine.

Xinghua sighed slightly when she watched it from the side, no matter how many times she watched it, she felt very powerful every time, and she couldn't stand the medicinal juice when she smelled it, but this little girl was like drinking water, her face was expressionless.

But he smiled on his face: "Look at what you said, since I call you a sister, my sister takes care of my sister, shouldn't it be?" If you are so polite to me, I won't spare you~"

"In this way, Yunni will not be polite to her sister!" Yunni also smiled back.

"That's how it should be!"

The two sisters were laughing, and Tang Bao ran in with a soft hat made of thin bamboo, and carried a small bamboo bag in his hand, which contained wild flowers picked from nowhere.

"Oh Tang Bao, what are you running around at noon?! Aren't you afraid of heat stroke, you kid! Xinghua was shocked, but she didn't expect this monkey child to sneak out, it must have been when her father and mother were not paying attention.

This kid, Xia Mei has not been at home recently, but has become more and more wild, following a group of monkey children in the village everywhere, and even his complexion is much darker.

Xinghua Liu raised her eyebrows, and was about to educate Tang Bao, but Tang Bao bypassed her straight and came to Yunni, offering treasure as if he had to send the wildflowers in the basket in his hand to Yunni.

"Sister Yunni, this is a flower for you, is it beautiful?" Then he looked up at Yunni with starry eyes.

Yun Nixing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then she smiled, "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking, my sister likes it very much~"

Tang Bao's excited little face was red, and a pair of big round eyes were bent into two crescents at the moment, which was very cute, "Really?" It's good if my sister likes it! I thought that the dog didn't lie to him, and the girl really wanted to send flowers!

Yunni touched the two buns on Tang Bao's head, and her tone was unconsciously doting: "Tang Bao is so well-behaved~ But, why didn't Tang Bao listen to Sister Xinghua's words?" The sun was too strong outside, Tang Bao went out and suffered from heat stroke, how worried he should be when his mother came back. Does Tang Bao want his mother to be worried? ”

Tang Bao tilted his head slightly, thought about it, and shook his head, "I don't want to...... Tang Bao didn't want his mother to worry...... However," Tang Bao's eyes darkened, "Tang Bao misses his mother very much...... It's been a long time since my mother told Tang Bao a story......"

Xinghua originally only sent flowers to Tang Bao to Yunni little girl, but she didn't have a share, and she was secretly complaining about this kid's white-eyed wolf, when she suddenly heard Tang Bao's aggrieved voice, Xinghua hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Tang Bao is good~ My mother wants to make money for Tang Bao to buy delicious food!" Tang Bao wants to be obedient, do you know? ”

Yunni also said softly: "Tang Bao, don't you still have a sister?" Is it okay for my sister to tell you a story?! When my mother comes back, let's tell my mother about it, okay?! ”

Tang Bao was originally a sensible child, but Xia Mei has paid so little attention to him recently, which has caused Tang Bao's thoughts to spread into a disaster, which is a little aggrieved.

Now that he was comforted by the two sisters, he also let go of his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he thought about Yunni's story, "Tang Bao knows." Tang Bao will be obedient, so Sister Yunni will tell me a story, right? Good no good? ”

Seeing that Tang Bao began to be coquettish and cute again, Yunni and Xinghua glanced at each other, and they both saw the crying and laughing in each other's eyes, Xinghua scolded with a smile: "This kid ...... Okay, don't bother you Sister Yunni, my sister just took medicine, so you have to rest well......"

Yun Ni interrupted Xinghua's words, "It's okay, Sister Xinghua, just let Tang Bao come with me, just let him take a nap." ”

Xinghua thought about it in a blink of an eye, and it was right, so she also followed Tang Bao and went home by herself.

Back at home, since the accident at Tianfu Restaurant, mushrooms have not been sold much. Moreover, Aunt Xia was forced to pass on this method, and the Xinghua family no longer went up the mountain every day.

Besides, the mushrooms in this mountain make them almost the same, and there are many poisons and birds of prey in the deep mountains in summer, and they don't have the courage to go deeper.

In fact, they have always had ordinary thoughts about this matter, they are honest people, and they suddenly made a windfall, but their hearts are not steady, and now although the road is broken, they have earned seventy or eighty taels of silver, and they can buy a decent dowry for Xinghua, and there is still a lot left! Chen was already extremely satisfied.

Recently, Xinghua's family has been busy with farm work in the field, after all, they are still authentic croppers, and the land is the root of life!

Chen Daniu picked up the sweat towel around his neck and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, held his breath suddenly, tilted his upper body to the side, and turned the back basket on his back downward, and the big corn cobs in it fell to the ground with a bang, and there was a small pile in the blink of an eye.

After taking the boiling water handed over by Xinghua, and knocking off a big bowl in one go, Chen Daniu breathed a sigh of relief before saying to Chen: "Xinghua damn, I'll go back again, you pull these out and rest for a while." ”

Chen sat in the shady ground under the courtyard wall, picking up the corn husks, and there was already a pile of yellow corn cobs on the left, and there were still a handful of corn husks left at the tail of the big ones, so that they could be easily tied together, and could be erected on the beams and pillars, and then taken down and threshed when they were to be used. Farmhouses are like that.

The corn husks on the right, which are as high as a hill, are generally dried in the sun and piled up in the back livestock shed, and they have no cattle at home.

"Why don't you take a break, see if you're tired."

"No, take advantage of the good weather, take it back as soon as possible, dry it as soon as possible, and receive it in the house, so that I can feel at ease. Okay, I'm leaving, Xinghua, pour a bowl of water for your mother! ”

"Huh!"

"Look at your foolish look!" Chen scolded with a smile.

I felt warm in my heart, and my subordinates' movements became more and more numb.

Xinghua smiled without saying a word, turned around and went into the house to dry a wooden scoop of water, then put on a soft bamboo hat, sat in the yard and tied a dozen corn with tassels together, and tied them into a lift with sun-dried palm strips.

"Where's Tang Bao?" Chen remembered that he hadn't seen Tang Bao for a while, and he was showing some urgency, after all, there was still a river in this village!

"It's okay, mother, take a nap with Yunni next door!"

Chen Shi relieved his heart, "That's good, I'm scared to death......"

The mother and daughter chatted casually, moving in their hands, but they never slowed down the slightest.
